This article explores the cognitive aspects of simile processing in English–Uzbek bilingual speakers. It investigates how similes are perceived and interpreted across two languages, focusing on cultural semantics, conceptual mappings, and linguistic nuances. By analyzing how bilingual minds handle similes that may differ or overlap semantically and culturally, the study reveals the cognitive strategies bilinguals employ when decoding figurative language. The paper also offers practical examples to illustrate cross-linguistic influence and cognitive transfer in simile interpretation, contributing to fields such as bilingualism, cognitive linguistics, and intercultural communication.
